Planet PDF Forum Archive

Wowsers! This is page is old, head to the LIVE Planet PDF Forum. It features more than 10 conferences, covering everything from beginner to in-depth developer and pre-press discussions. If you wish to continue... one & two archive covers 1999-2011 (160,000 pages).

User has brought me a pdf that needs editing. The doc has been form fielded, which I can edit. In other areas of the form, I can use my Touch-Up text tool to edit content. However, there are some areas of text, which I cannot grab with the Touch-Up Text Tool. Very strange. I tried to run Acrobat's OCR tool, but it prompted me that it couldn't do this, as the text was already readable. I still cannot get a hold of the text in this one line (See attached document where it says Bank" and 1400, 3). I tried to load the pdf into OmniPage, an OCR program, which it did load, but the page with this elusive text on it, came across blank!! I do not understand. Why can I not grab this text to delete it?

Planet PDF talks with another Master of the PDF Universe, Eugene Y. Xiong, Founder and Chairman of the Board at Foxit Software Inc. in Fremont California. Xiong is a quiet yet astounding achiever, you (usually) won't find him talking at conferences, exhibits, or publishings, but what you will find is the result of his leadership in places you would never expect.
